The Berks Book Bonanza is returning next month.<\/p>\n
A five-day sale has been scheduled for July 8 through 12. This will be the third sale to be held at its new headquarters at 400 E. Wyomissing Ave. in Mohnton.<\/p>\n
Organizers said they are hoping to expand the success of the sale last summer with additional inventory that was collected throughout the fall and spring.<\/p>\n
\u201cBerks Book Bonanza was able to provide $80,000 in 2025,\u201d said Judy Ellsworth, vice president of Berks Book Bonanza. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to seeing what 2026 yields.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Book Bonanza is one of the largest book sale operations in the region, offering gently-used hardcover and paperbacks, CDs, DVDs, puzzles and games at prices of $2 or less for general items. They also offer specialty materials and collectible books.<\/p>\n
